How to Order a Marriage Certificate Online

You may use this service to complete a marriage certificate order online for events that have been registered in Newfoundland and Labrador. To use
this service please visit the Vital Statistics Division - Online Services.

To enhance the privacy and security of a person's identity, entitlement restrictions apply for marriage certificates. See
"Who is Entitled" section below.

As well, persons applying for marriage certificates are required to provide identification:

one piece of photo ID; or

two pieces of other ID, at least one of which contains signature or address.

If you apply for the marriage certificate in Mount Pearl, there is
approximately a 20 minute waiting period. If you apply in Gander, Corner
Brook, Clarenville or Grand Falls-Windsor, you are still able to get them in
the same day. If you apply at any of the remaining offices, there is
approximately a three day processing period (this does not include mailing
time). Note: Processing times are approximate and will change depending on the volume of applications received.

Your complete mailing address and telephone number and state your relationship to the person named on the certificate if, for any reason, you are not that person.

Photocopies of ID's

Marriage Certificates are only available in long form, framing size and cost $35.00,
